Hear why Waleed chose Kum & Go – Our Division Vice President - Operations
Waleed was first attracted to Kum & Go because he heard great things about our culture and reputation. And now that he’s settled into his career here, he says he’s very proud to be part of an organization “that’s proving that jobs can be exciting, managers can be caring, and companies can be a positive light in the communities in which they operate.”

I trust the opinion of others who know me, what I stand for, and the value I bring. What turned me on initially to the opportunity at Kum & Go was people that know me well calling and stating, “I know the high-powered team at Kum & Go, and I think you would be a really good fit in their organization.” This piqued my interest to learn more about the culture at Kum & Go and why it had such a good reputation. Then I read the job description and I felt it was a good fit for my current strengths and offered stretch opportunities in areas I have a passion for. The job description also exuded energy, innovation, and creativity, all signs of an organization I wanted to be a part of.
Kum & Go has a culture where every single associate is invited to play a role in our future. I know I can go to work every day and make days better for our associates and customers. Also, my leadership cares about my opinion. I feel welcomed, trusted, and valued.
My relationship so far has been constructive, supportive, and positive. As a new leader, I know I am taking risks because I don’t have years or decades of institutional knowledge to fall back on. I am given grace on things, and the leaders around me arend very supportive as I navigate new territory.
I have become an advocate for Kum & Go as an employer. I know many people in my network that are not happy in their employment and it typically ties back to either not liking their job, not liking their manager, or not liking the mission of their current employer. I use my journey to Kum & Go to hopefully inspire them to take a risk and make a change. I can point to our great company as proof that jobs can be exciting, managers can be caring, and companies can be a positive light in the communities in which they operate.
Since joining Kum & Go I have had the fortunate
opportunity to take roles that have stretched me personally, professionally, and
as a leader beyond measure. Since joining Kum & Go, I have led Risk Management,
Marketing Communications as an interim Vice President, and stepped into an Operations
leadership role as the South Division Vice President. Each role has allowed me to learn
new skills across different leadership competencies based on the needs of the team.
In my current role as Division Vice President, I have the privilege of influencing and leading stores
and associates in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas to fulfill our purpose of Making Days Better by
connecting with people. Each day I wake up energized to serve my team and customers.
The best part of my job is feeling empowered to make a difference and bring value to the organization. My leader has demonstrated trust in my knowledge, skills, and competencies as a professional. I have a desire to reinvent the craft of risk management and I am getting the support to do so.
If someone is currently looking for an energetic, goal- focused work environment, Kum & Go is for them. We also have such a diverse organization that you have a seemingly endless supply of development and learning opportunities. There are so many people that started in our stores and capitalized on those opportunities and who have had a very satisfying career.
I am impressed with the level of talent at Kum & Go and the strong accountability for success. I have built a connection with some of our store associates and I love how committed they are to our mission. With a goal-focused work environment, everyone has the great opportunity to contribute.
